From College Success Foundation: In partnership with Seattle University, the College Success Foundation is
sponsoring a FLUX Training on October, 18th from 10-6pm at
Seattle University.
FLUX is an intensive full day workshop
designed by Foster Care Alumni of America (FCAA) to support youth transitioning
out of foster care. According to their website, “If you talk to most
alumni [of foster care], they will say they were ill prepared to anticipate and
strategize for the precarious phase between being a dependent foster youth and
a healthy, independent adult.” This workshop imparts young adults from
foster care with all of the information more than 100 alumni of care WISH they
had known before aging out of care. Learn more about FLUX here.
This will be a
great opportunity for students to come together with people who share
their background and to develop a common language for processing the transition
they are experiencing.
The training
can accommodate up to 25 youth (16-24) participants and is fairly costly ($175
per student). The College Success Foundation is able to subsidize the
event so that the cost to the colleges per student is just $50 plus travel
costs. CSF, SU and FCAA will provide all program materials, lunch and
snacks. CPTC should be able to pay for the remaining fees.
Your students
can register for the workshop here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FR9H9JC
